Chris,

If you can narrow it down to just the camera, try disconnecting the imager from the electronics and see if that makes a difference? Is the problem worse when recording than just with the camera powered on?

You might also consider using copper tape to seal up all the gaps in the shielding of the electronics package. Gaps can radiate an amazing amount of energy sometimes.

EMI mitigation is part science and part black magic in my opinion. What works one time won't work the next. Grrrr!

Hi Terry,

I was outside, but only about 10 feet from my house. I think I had 6 satellites in the initial solution and 10 in view. I fired it up by itself until it found a lock and then turned it off. Then I fired up the other two and turned it back on in the same spot.

I'll turn it on by itself and time it a couple times. Once I have a good feel for it's lock time I'll try with just the RRC2 and see if it makes a difference.

Thanks,


Chris

    Chris,

       Indoors or out doors?    How many satellites were in the solution?

       The first time you turn on a GPS receiver in a new location it
    sometimes takes longer to lock up than if it is close to where it
    was last used.

       Try the Telemetrum with just the RRC2+ to see if you can
    eliminate it as the problem source of the problem.

    Hey guys,

    I finished my altimeter bay integration last night. I fired up
    the Telemetrum 2.0 by itself and it took 5-10 minutes for it to
    get GPS lock. I turned it off and then turned on my camera and
    Missile Works RRC2+ before turning on the Telemetrum on this time
    I let it sit for 6 minutes and it never found any satellites and
    never got a lock.

    I have the camera board shielded but the camera module is
    unshielded and near the Telemetrum. I've been told that writing
    to the SD card on the camera produces a lot of noise and can
    interfere with GPS signals. Any suggestions?
